Welcome to Year 1, Week 11, Lesson 1.11.3. Today we will work on your English conversation and reading skills. We begin dialogues 1-3 from our English course, American English Conversations 2. Designed for beginners, these dialogues help English Learners improve their comprehension and communication skills. You’re encouraged to read along and pronounce together with the video below. Once you finish, don’t forget to share what you’ve learned via the comments section below.
PART 1 — DIRECTIONS: Read the dialogues below in English, then translate them and read them in your primary language.

Hello
Good afternoon
Thank you for the great lesson
I always enjoyed reading aloud after you while you repeat each dialogue three times.
Of course, repeating after the teacher is the best way to learn pronounce English words correctly and easily. To train my mouth and have a good habit to read in english correctly I tried to reread the dialogues by myself and found that’s fantastic to speak English to himself.
Sincerely
Mongi
Good, Mongi. As you practice with each lesson, your English improves. 🙂
